# Records

> Create, fill in, file and share CAD records like citations, reports, warrants and BOLOs.

***

## What are Records?

Records are the forms you fill in during roleplay: citations, arrest reports, warrants, BOLOs, patient reports, tow forms and more. Each one is built from a template your CAD admins design, so the forms you see depend on your server.

To search records or run a person or vehicle, see [Lookups & Runs](/CAD/User/lookups).
